The guest who came alone stood in the center of the hall on the first floor. Even after entering the tower, she had no intention of lifting her hood and still covered herself tightly.
Two girls dressed in smart clothes and preparing to go out to train dogs came to the lobby. At the same time, two large dogs, Gray Hoof and White Nose, also responded to the previous call and happened to block the door. To people they have never seen before, they sniff and smell the familiar smell.
The guest noticed the two large monsters at the door, but she did not panic. She just turned her head and looked at the two girls who had just come out of the stairwell. She said: "Good morning both of you, I am Courtaulin, a dependent of Lady Dorothy. I was entrusted by my master to come here to visit the tower master."
"Dorothy?" Hallumi tilted her head, a little unfamiliar with this name. After a while, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Vampire?"
"It's a vampire. Well, vampires are right too." The guest's voice was a little helpless, admitting the name that was a bit contemptuous. "Don't worry, I'm here with no ill intentions."
The girls looked at each other and ran up to the third floor at the same time, preparing to pull up their teacher's quilt. The two big dogs didn't get permission to leave, so they simply sat down and blocked the gate. They recognized the smell, it belonged to inedible meat, so they lost interest and yawned with their mouths wide open.
The visiting guests didn't seem to care and stood quietly waiting. Before she came to the Tower of the Great Sage, she received strict instructions from her master and was not allowed to do anything that offended the tower master. Because that tower is like the natural enemy of the vampires. Killing vampires, no matter how many, is only within the fingertips of the tower owner.
As one of the most powerful warriors in the clan, she subconsciously despised magicians who were still at the level of human life. But the possible reason why she appeared here forced Kao Taolin to restrain her arrogance and face the tower master with a correct attitude.
Not long after waiting, the adult male tower owner walked out of the central stairwell wearing a bright mage robe. He looked radiant and energetic. In fact, the person who stayed on the third floor was sleepy-eyed, with messy hair, wearing a nightgown and hugging his own pillow. On the head is of course the helmet that controls the clone.
Courtaulin tried to find something special about the person in front of her. But no matter how you look at it, except for his spiritual points, compared to the best humans she has ever seen, the one in front of her has no characteristics at all. Not domineering, not handsome, not shrewd and capable. To be honest, he is just an ordinary person in a rural area, looking after a small store with his insignificant craftsmanship.
Lin obviously didn't like the dark creature that made trouble twice. After he appeared, he immediately asked: "Guest, why are you here?"
Hearing the obvious displeasure in her tone, Courtaulin was slightly angry and said: "Your Excellency, I am here on behalf of Lady Dorothy Nagy to convey her goodwill. Your Excellency does not need to be so hostile."
"If you really have good intentions, then show up. People who hide their heads and show their tails are not worthy of trust."
In response to such a request, the hiding person stretched out his slender arms, intending to point to the ceiling, but in an instant he seemed to be burned, and his skin was torn apart. She quickly retracted her arm and said with a slight hesitation: "Then the lights in your tower..."
"Sorry, my mistake." He snapped his fingers and lowered the bright lighting in the tower. Lin said, "This is the wavelength of simulated moonlight. It should not affect you."
Kao Taolin stretched out her hand to test again. This time there was no burning, so she opened her hood, revealing her fair and bloodless face. After feeling the light in the tower for a while, she unexpectedly found that the power in her body had grown slightly. She said in shock: "Is this a full moon?"
Sunlight kills, moonlight helps. Especially the light of the full moon can add some strength to the two categories of dark creatures, vampires and werewolves. If it weren't for the fact that the tower master could change the lights in a snap, Kao Taolin would have tried to capture him.
However, this is not the goal of this trip. Furthermore, with the current situation, there is no point in capturing the tower owner. Kao Taolin looked at the tower master with a gentle smile, but felt a little weird because the other person's expression and tone were inconsistent. But she still asked for the purpose of her trip: "Your Excellency, I wonder if one of the four elders of the Southwest Blood Clan, the ancient Marquis of Messarosh, has come to visit your tower recently?"
"Mesarosh?" Lin couldn't remember the name for a while and asked, "Who is that?"
Courtaulin looked a little embarrassed and replied: "It's Marton Balog, the patriarch of his clan who offended the tower owner before."
"No such person came to visit me. However, there was a group of people attacking this tower before, and there were vampires inside. I still remember that your lady promised me that no vampire would come for that matter. He was looking for trouble, but a large group of people came to kill him. How do you explain this matter?"
"Is it the army of the Marquis of Mesaroche?"
"I don't know. They came here without identifying themselves, and they didn't put any signs on them. I don't know who they are."
"Where are they now?"
"Well, the underworld. Or maybe the gods you believe in collect the dead."
...Kaw Taolin was stunned for a moment, suppressed her surprise, and said calmly: "I wonder if there are any relics that can prove their identity." As if to conceal her original intention, Kaw Taolin explained: "Because everyone The whereabouts of the Ancient One are very important news to us. Moreover, the Marquis also lost contact with us a while ago and his whereabouts are unknown. That’s why we hope to confirm his identity."
"Yeah." Looking at the female vampire in front of me, she couldn't be said to be beautiful, but she was still handsome and tall. Thinking of the previous conversation with the lady, it can be said that the background of this person and that of the Marquis are rivals. So although he felt that the other party was trying to hide something, Lin still nodded and said, "Come with me."
The place where the trophies were piled was in the corner of the weapons room. Lin's clone opened the locked door with a wave of his hand.
The shelves that were cleared out more than a year ago are still empty today. The only supplementary items are the crossbows used by the two girls for hunting. According to new ideas and designs, two crossbows with different characteristics were remade, and a lot of effort was put into enchanting them. He doesn't expect to be praised by his disciples, he just wants to be quiet.
When I first sold my things, the whole atmosphere in the tower was filled with resentment. When two slingshots are made, the resentment is doubled. Now the two slingshots ran to nowhere and were nowhere to be seen.
In the corner of the weapons room, the trophies that had been sorted out before were piled up in different categories. There are piles of weapons, piles of armor, and some gadgets placed on silver trays on the shelves, also arranged in a disorderly manner.
Lin Yi waved his hand, gesturing for the guests to watch by themselves, and said: "All the things that are still intact are here. I have dismantled or carved out the remaining damaged items and recast them. You can look for them at will. If there are none here, then It just doesn’t exist anymore. Maybe it means that your Marquis didn’t die in the previous attack.”
With a slight nod, Kaotaolin walked past the tower owner and came to the pile of weapons and equipment piled randomly. As the distance got closer and the more items she recognized, she became more frightened.
There are wings on both sides of the helmet to protect the ears, the back tip is upturned, and there is a nose guard in the front. This is a powerful armor called the King of the Mountain. Its original owner was a weapons master among the gray dwarves. At the same time, I also saw the arm-long war hammer. The handle of the hammer was made from several strands of an old vine called Lausanne intertwined. The hammer head was flat in front and pointed in the back, which could be used for smashing or nailing. This is also the proud work of the weapons master, and it is also a portable weapon.
A two-handed sword, with no sharp edge at the base of the blade, is also for people to hold. The end of the sword hilt is inlaid with a yellow gem the size of a pigeon egg, which is of fine workmanship. This is the legendary weapon called the Rising Sun Star. The last owner was a dark elf martial arts master and the strongest member of the dark elf family among the allies of Marquis Mesaroche. Relying on this weapon with the power of sunlight, he became the Marquis's strongest killer against betrayers.
A huge bone with several spikes stuck in all directions. It looks very rough, but it is a terrifying weapon. It is based on half of an ancient dragon's leg bone and is paired with meteorite iron spikes cursed by different dark gods. Every time it hits, it can produce different negative effects, which can be said to be the enemy's nightmare. This is the most trusted servant of Marquis Mesaroche and the weapon of the werewolf leader.
There are also several famous weapons and armors, but now they are stacked together randomly like groceries. It is completely impossible to see the majestic reputation of the past, and it is also difficult to imagine where its holders, those warriors who are so powerful and admired, are now.
It can be said that if I admit my mistake correctly, the core strength that Marquis Mesaroche relies on are all here, and none of them have escaped.
However, the characteristics of these weapons are quite obvious. I regard the power of the Mesaroche clan as my imaginary enemy. I am very familiar with the details of these weapons and their owners, so the chance of admitting my mistake is not high.
In other words, regardless of whether the Marquis comes in person or not, most of his power has been eliminated.
Looking at the plate of lighter items, there are earrings, rings, necklaces, belt buckles, arm rings, wristbands, etc. Kao Taolin immediately saw the gold ring with a large ring face and a complex coat of arms engraved on it. That was the ring of clan patriarch that the Marquis of Mesaroche never left, a proof of his identity as an ancient, and a symbol of power as an elder.
Did that powerful ancient one also die in the Tower of the Great Sage?
In fact, under the propaganda of Dorothy Nagy, all the vampires in the Southwest Peninsula know that the inside of the Tower of the Great Sage can shine with light that has the same effect as the sun. Therefore, it is the consensus of everyone to avoid entering the tower as much as possible.
But no one expected that the owner of the tower was so crazy that he transformed the entire outer wall of the tower into something like a super-large flashlight, capable of emitting light of the same wavelength as sunlight. For vampires, it's a face-to-face killing, with no blind spots. Even wearing day clothes, like Courtauerin's original outfit, one couldn't help but let the sun shine upward from the floor.
Laser nets can be deployed, so what’s the point of using some light mainly composed of ultraviolet rays?
However, Lin has no obligation to explain these things clearly to the vampires. This dark group of people who were once humans have the same evil nature. No matter how much they explain, they are just intimidation, excuses or bragging. Only when it truly hurts will it be impressive.
That's why Lin didn't choose to believe in that bullshit covenant during his previous meeting with Dorothy. Killing the opponent until they are scared is much more effective than a blank piece of paper.
